Aria Protocol
Aria Protocol powers real-world intellectual property (IP) rights onchain, allowing iconic music and cultural assets to be tokenized as investable Real World Assets (IPRWAs). It serves investors and fans who want to buy, stake, and earn royalties from tokenized IP such as songs from artists like BLACKPINK, aespa, and Justin Bieber.

Description
Aria provides infrastructure that allows intellectual property rights to be clearly defined, responsibly governed, and sustainably monetized within transparent, compliant systems, while remaining culturally alive and creatively accessible. Through its platform, users can discover a curated selection of iconic IP assets starting with music, invest by participating in vaults or purchasing IPRWA tokens, earn royalty distributions and staking rewards (e.g., via the $APL token), and remix/license iconic IP through Aria's Global Remix Contests. Aria's first IPRWA portfolio raised $10.95m via StakeStone, covering partial rights to 48 iconic assets with a projected annualized yield of 5-8%, attracting over 4,300 investors to date. The protocol has been audited by Halborn, Pashov, and Guardian, and is operated by the Aria Foundation and its affiliates, which intend to provide liquidity and manage markets for the $ARIAIP token and other tokenized IPRWAs.Grant Funding
